Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

Just now, Lin En refused to accept all of this, confirming from the depths of his heart that he was a noble, pure human.

His soul depths had changed because of something.

That distant, grand gaze was no longer merely "sweeping" over him faintly.

But truly landed upon him.

Like starlight crossing billions of light-years, precisely focused on a speck of dust.

Lin En felt that the master behind that gaze held no hostility, not even any emotion human emotion could understand.

Only an absolutely cold "measurement."

It was judging, confirming.

Lin En's heart nearly stopped beating in that instant.

Suddenly, his heart began beating again.

Lin En felt that something had changed.

It was not him and the scepter, nor anyone or anything in the hall.

But his soul had received a kind of "Divine Recognition."

His identity changed at this moment.

Time resumed flowing.

The clamor in the hall flowed back into his ears.

The deep red gem atop the scepter still flashed madly, energy surging.

Lin En was no longer angry.

He closed his eyes and smiled, shaking his head.

"Oh my~, you really caused me trouble."

He opened his eyes, looking at the Governor's Scepter in his hand.

Indeed, the colors of the patterns on the scepter shaft had changed.

From the original red glow, gradually turning into a faint gold.

The gold began spreading from the bottom of the shaft, flowing upward, passing through every pattern and inscription, finally gathering at the deep red gem at the top.

Inside the gem, the madly spinning vortex began to slow.

The deep red radiance changed.

A trace of golden radiance began to render in the gem's core.

The invisible barrier between the scepter and Lin En also gradually disappeared.

Replacing it was a kind of seemingly innate stable connection.

Lin En could feel that the scepter "recognized" him.

Not just physical identity, but the essence of the soul.

Although he never thought he could receive the Emperor's recognition, now, he was a genuine Emperor's Chosen!

"Hahahahahahaha!"

Lin En laughed boisterously.

The laughter was unrestrained, carrying the relief of surviving a calamity and the release of long-suppressed emotions.

One could also hear a near-arrogant smugness.

But except for Goodwin, who faced him and possessed the Pure White Eye and understood what was happening.

Everyone below thought Lin En had been scared out of his wits.

Gus slumped onto the chair, as if he had been dead for some time.

Hearing Lin En's laughter, he thought Lin En had begun to abandon himself after his heretic identity was exposed.

Others present thought similarly to Gus, believing Lin En was a "heretic" impersonating the Governor!

Some nobles began calling the surrounding soldiers to surround Lin En and the others.

Goodwin saw this and was about to wave them off.

But saw Lin En raise his right hand, the gesture's meaning easy to understand.

Move aside, let me handle it.

Lin En turned to face everyone, his expression once again becoming dignified and solemn.

Seeing some soldiers and nobles aim their gun mouths at him.

He smiled again.

"What, you want to shoot your Governor?"

He raised the scepter high.

The gem at the top instantly blazed with golden light, the entire scepter emitting a holy radiance impossible to look at directly.

Just then, a golden beam of light, without warning, penetrated the hall's glass dome, precisely shining on Lin En.

The beam was so bright, so pure, as if from the Warp Torch itself.

It enveloped Lin En, dyeing him gold.

The moment the light shone down, inside the sealed hall, a sudden gale blew up.

His black hair fluttered in the light, his robes billowed in the light, and his purple eyes sparkled like gems under the golden radiance.

It was an indescribable "Holy Wind."

It blew over Lin En, over the Preacher's Platform, over the cheeks of everyone in the hall.

In the wind, holy hymns seemed to hum softly.

At this moment, everyone realized that Lin En was no longer that mortal, "Keli Feng."

He was the true "Emperor's Chosen"!

He was the Brevix Planet Governor recognized by the supreme existence.

"Praise the Emperor!"

The first to kneel was Archbishop Goodwin.

This old man, who represented the Imperial State Religion and the supreme divine authority of Brevix, knelt on one knee without hesitation at this moment.

He bowed his head, offering the highest respect to Lin En, or rather, to the "Emperor's Chosen."

No matter how complex the soul, no matter how tortuous the fate.

Since this was the Emperor's choice, then the State Religion would follow.

The Archbishop's kneeling was like a signal.

Clatter~!

The next second, all State Religion Acolytes in the hall knelt down.

They bowed their heads and shouted in unison:

"Praise the Emperor!"

The mockery, doubt, and schadenfreude on the faces of the Noble Faction all froze at this moment.

They looked at Lin En bathed in golden light, at the Governor's Scepter emitting holy radiance, at the kneeling Archbishop.

They knew what had happened.

The Emperor's Manifestation had occurred.

In this remote star system far from Terra, isolated by Warp Storms.

In the church of this small Hive World, the Emperor's will personally recognized this new Governor.

Over the past few hundred years, Brevix Planet had changed over a hundred Governors, and never had any one received such an "Honor"!

What did this mean?

It meant this new Governor was the true "Heaven's Mandate"!

"Thump, thump!"

The Noble Faction rushed to kneel.

The guards and nobles who had just been holding guns and slowly approaching the Preacher's Platform.

Were now terrified out of their wits, hurriedly threw their guns on the ground, knelt faster than anyone, and kowtowed louder than anyone.

Even the Governor's attendants who had originally been surrounded were stunned by this scene.

Gus knelt on the ground, eyes wide open, full of disbelief.

He had just been despairing, as if he saw the scene of himself being turned into a sieve by Bomb Guns.

He even began to regret, regretting why he hadn't looked for a chance to escape on the Xian Ge Hao, but instead boarded Lin En's pirate ship.

But now, golden light? Holy Wind?

The Archbishop kneeling? The Emperor's Manifestation?

Gus felt his brain was about to explode.

"You fucking tell me, this man who plundered the Xian Ge Hao, could manipulate the Bug Race, and killed without blinking.

Not only is he pure human, his soul has actually been recognized by the God Emperor?!"

"This God Emperor must have four arms, right?!"

Gus's worldview shattered into pieces at this moment.

He quickly reacted, no matter what Lin En actually was, no matter how many arms the God Emperor had.

But now the facts were right before his eyes, Lin En had passed the test and become the true Governor.

He himself finally didn't have to die!

"Praise the Emperor!"

He shouted louder than anyone!
